deterioration tested to meet
ISO 1419: 1995 Method C
“Tropical Test” against
moisture and elevated
temperatures to withstand
extreme conditions over a
period of 5 years.
Infection Control
All our vinyl has an infection proof additive
which is effective at
reducing the spread of
bacteria such as E coli and
MRSA*. (*supported by
independent laboratory
testing).
Stain Resistance

hydrophobic and do not
absorb water or retain
dampness and can be
completely dried after
washing. Resistant to urine,
mild acids/alkalis, drinks
and beverages which can be
easily wiped off.
